Featured Team Member
Mike Schmidt joined the electrical industry in 2000 after three years of study and a brief career in the Natural Resources field, collecting data from electro-fishing feeder streams to the Grand River. Switching over to his electrical career, Mike apprenticed as a 309A electrician focusing on industrial work and found his strength in troubleshooting machinery such as CNC lathes and custom automation cells, etc. He slowly switched to PLC programming and control panel design from concept to commissioning. This area of expertise had him traveling North America to consult, quote, procure, design, program, and commission automotive assembly lines.
Concurrent with the automation role, Mike held a Master Electrician license and ran a small electrical contracting company doing residential/commercial electrical work.
In his spare time, Mike works in his shop doing leatherwork, machining, and, currently, making a CNC lathe.
As an inspector with eSAFE, Mike enjoys customer interaction and finds that little questions about what the client's hobbies are or what the weekend holds in store lead to great conversation and a sense of connection.

Field Approvals (whether Field Evaluation, or Field Certification) are what we do exclusively, and we make it our business to be the best.
eSAFE is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as an Inspection Body (ISO 17020) and Certification Body (ISO 17065). As an accredited approval agency, eSAFE is authorized to evaluate and label equipment for electrical safety.
